I’m oz, and I’ll be writing this edition of the Engineer’s Blog.
Since WordPress has recently been updated, I’d like to introduce some new features that should be useful for actual website management, along with how to make the most of them.
Release Notes: WordPress 7.0 – WordPress.org (English)
1. Responsive Display Control Features
In WordPress 7.0, you can now configure which devices each block is displayed on.
- Display on PC only
- Display on tablet only
- Display on smartphone only




You can configure settings like the ones described above. Previously, you had to write CSS or install a dedicated plugin, but this is now available as a standard feature.
For example, you can hide images on smartphones to improve page load speed, or switch large tables designed for desktop computers to a different layout on smartphones.
2. Adding an Icon Block
WordPress 7.0 also includes a feature that makes it easy to place icons.
Until now, you couldn’t place icons without installing the Font Awesome plugin.
For example,
- Display a phone icon next to the phone number
- Display an email icon next to the email address
- Display a warning icon next to the notes
You can create visually intuitive websites, such as these.

Note
Summary
In this post, we’ve highlighted some of the new features added in WordPress 7.0 that are likely to be useful for actual website management.
The “responsive display control” and “new icon blocks” we’ve introduced here are relatively easy to use even without specialized knowledge, and they help improve the readability and usability of your website.
WordPress is updated regularly, with new features being added all the time. Even if you use it without giving it much thought on a daily basis, taking this opportunity to try out the new features might help you manage your site more efficiently.
There are still many features I haven’t fully mastered myself, so I plan to continue trying out new features and learning how to make the most of them.
That’s all for this post.
Thank you for reading this far.
Stay tuned for the next Engineer Blog post!
